PACKLIANCE and CHI launch first digital PPWR tool for declarations of conformity – prepare now for August 2026

Wiesbaden/Aachen, April 2026 – PACKLIANCE GmbH and cyclos-HTP GmbH (CHI) entered into a strategic partnership and are jointly launching a digital tool for preparing the declaration of conformity required under Article 39 PPWR. The solution enables companies to organize relevant packaging data in a structured manner and use it to generate both the technical documentation and the declaration of conformity in line with PPWR requirements. The go-live is scheduled for July 2026.

With the 12 August 2026 deadline approaching, the pressure on producers of packaged products and packaging is increasing significantly. From that date, among other obligations, companies will be required to carry out a conformity assessment procedure pursuant to Article 38 PPWR and to issue the corresponding declaration of conformity in accordance with Article 39 PPWR. This requires a complete, robust and audit-proof data basis – ranging from master packaging data and material and component information through to the relevant supporting evidence.

The new tool helps companies implement these requirements efficiently. It provides a structured workflow for data capture, validation and regulatory assessment, while enabling the automated generation of the required documents.

At launch, the solution will cover the following PPWR requirements:

• Article 5: Requirements for substances in packaging

• Article 11: Reusable packaging

Optional assessments will also be available for:

• Article 6: Recyclable packaging 

• Article 7: Minimum recycled content in plastic packaging

• preparatory data structuring for use of the tool

• automated integration into existing infrastructure, such as ERP systems

• acting as the authorised representative for the producer in Germany

Further PPWR articles that will enter into force at a later stage, some of which still depend on pending EU implementing acts, will be added step by step through software updates. 

“The PPWR sets out a clear timetable – and it is ambitious. Companies should start now to build up their packaging data in a structured and verifiable way. Our tool provides a practical digital solution for exactly that purpose,” says Jan Bauer, Managing Director of PACKLIANCE GmbH.

“Our platform provides the technological basis for data management, assessment logic and document generation. Combined with the regulatory and procedural expertise of both companies, this creates a scalable approach for industry,” adds Philippe Blank, Managing Director of CHI.

Efficient and scalable PPWR compliance 

The software can be used independently by companies of all sizes. It has been designed to help structure packaging portfolios in a sustainable, organised and audit-ready manner, enabling businesses to meet declaration of conformity requirements in a future-proof way.

The multilingual application (German/English) also provides an excellent basis for use beyond Europe. 

Where required, PACKLIANCE is also pleased to support customers with:

• preparatory data structuring for use of the tool

• automated integration into existing infrastructure, such as ERP systems

• acting as the authorised representative for the producer in Germany
